British International School Closes Lincoln Park Campus Due To Illnesses

September 8, 2019

CRASH OCCURRED DURING HEAVY LAKE-EFFECT SNOW. WESTBOUND 94 IS EXPECTED TO BE CLOSED FOR SOME TIME. TOO MANY ILLNESSES FORCES A SCHOOL TO SHUT THE DOORS TODAY. THE LINCOLN CAMPUS IS CLOSED FOR CLEANING. WE’RE THERE WITH A LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SICK. HI, SUSAN THAT. Reporter: GOOD MORNING. YEAH, CLEANING CREWS ARE EXPECTED TO BE HERE TO COME BY AND WIPE DOWN EVERYTHING AND CLEAN THE CLASSROOMS. PARENTS SAY THE HERE TOLD THEM ABOUT 20 PRONGS OF STUDENTS AND STAFF CALLED OUT SICK. THAT’S WITH THE STOMACH FLU AND FLU. ACCORDING TO CREWS, THEY CANCELLED CLASSES TO PREVENT THE SPREAD ON CAMPUS. THIS WOMAN STOPPED BY THAT THE SCHOOL IS CLOSED. SHE TRIES TO GET IN AND KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AND WAITING BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. SOME STOPPED BY AND NOT REALIZING THAT THE SCHOOL WAS CLOSED. WHEN YOU PERSONALLY ENGAGE GETTING SICK, BUT I HEAR OVER AND OVER ONE OF THE OTHER KIDS IS GETTING SICK FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. IT’S JUST BETTER TO TAKE CARE OF THAT AND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A QUICK DECISION, AND HAVING A CLOSE COMMUNITY HELPS TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS IN A QUICK FASHION. A LOT OF THE KIDS HAVE BEEN OUT LATELY AND IT’S KIND OF CRAZY. A LOT OF CANCELLATIONS BECAUSE OF IT. I HOPE THAT EVERYBODY IS GETTING HEALTHY. Reporter: THE CAMPUS STILL HAD CLASSES TODAY. OFFICIALS SAY THIS SCHOOL, THE LINCOLN PARK CAMPUS IS GOING TO REOPEN
